Chapter 576: Chapter 399_2

Ran into an acquaintance.

It’s Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Meeting Lin Xueming isn’t really a big deal, especially since his daughter is here too, we could even have a meal together.

But...

Upon recognizing Lin Xueming, Wu Mu immediately turned his gaze to the woman holding his arm.

This woman... doesn’t seem to look like Lin Qingyue’s mother, the veteran film star Du Lan.

Oh no!

Caught my future father-in-law cheating at the restaurant!

At first, Lin Xueming didn’t recognize Wu Mu, as he was wearing a hat and mask, but he quickly recognized Wu Mu’s figure and eyes. Lin Xueming, always serious and unsmiling, was clearly flustered and instinctively tried to let go of the woman beside him.

But the woman seemed a bit clueless, looking at Wu Mu in confusion.

After a few seconds, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wu Mu?"

Huh?

Wu Mu looked at her and started recognizing her too.

She seemed to be a celebrity named Tang Ya?

Thinking more deeply, she seemed to be the second female lead in the movie Lin Xueming’s filming recently?

Wu Mu was truly feeling awkward now.

Yet Lin Xueming was more composed, quickly regaining his usual calm demeanor, "Out for a meal?"

Wu Mu nodded, "Mm."

After a pause, he added, "Qingyue is here too."

Lin Xueming showed no special expression, "Oh, is she done with her film?"

"Almost, just finishing up the end."

"Will it be ready in time for Cannes’ announcement?"

"It should be ready in time."

"Hmm."

Lin Xueming nodded, the atmosphere was silent for half a second, "Then you guys go eat first, we’ll head back after finishing."

He lifted his foot to leave but paused mid-step, as if remembering something, "Don’t tell Qingyue I came back."

Such subtle language art...

You don’t want Lin Qingyue to know you came back, but clearly, you don’t want Lin Qingyue to know you brought a woman to eat...

Wu Mu sighed a little, how could he be so unlucky to run into something like this.

If it were someone else, and the relationship wasn’t as close, he wouldn’t even bother to meddle.

But this is his girlfriend’s father... Lin Qingyue would be mad knowing he found out about this kind of thing and didn’t tell her.

Wu Mu said nothing, just shook his head.

Lin Xueming, who had maintained an unsmiling face until now, clearly had a slightly darkened expression, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He lifted his hand, gesturing towards Wu Mu twice, said nothing, and walked straight ahead.

The celebrity Tang Ya beside, just realized the awkwardness, and hurried to follow.

Now, it truly seems I’ve offended the girlfriend’s father terribly.

Wu Mu was quite speechless too.

If it was just dislike before, now it’s bound to turn to dislike.

What’s this mess...

Wu Mu watched Lin Xueming’s departing back, shaking his head helplessly.

Continuing forward, he soon reached the private room Lin Qingyue booked.

She was still inside ordering food. Seeing Wu Mu come back, she waved with a smile, "I ordered the crispy pigeon for you, anything else you want?"

Wu Mu glanced at the menu,

Sat down beside her, and didn’t answer, instead pondered a moment, "Qingyue, on my way here, I ran into someone."

"Who?" Lin Qingyue raised her eyebrows a little, sensing something.

"Father."

"My dad?"

"Mm."

Wu Mu contemplated, "He was with someone, seemingly from the industry"

But he hadn’t reached the hotel yet when he unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance on the roadside.

Huh, why is she here?

Wu Mu curiously looked at the figure standing at the door of a nearby restaurant.

It was Su Meng, who he knew from the first session at the Star Agency.

She was standing next to a red Ferrari, looking angry, talking to someone inside the Ferrari.

Wu Mu couldn’t see who was in the Ferrari, but that person seemed quite temperamental too, because after a brief exchange, they suddenly hit the gas, leaving Su Meng standing there.

Leaving Su Meng standing there, furrowing her brow as she stared in that direction.

Wu Mu drove over with a smile, rolled down the window, and said with amusement, "Little Su, long time no see."

Su Meng turned to look at him, seemingly stunned.

This was only the second time the two actually met in real life.

Yet Su Meng seemed to keep up with his activities, as Wu Mu often received feedback from Su Meng on his new songs on WeChat.

They didn’t really chat much, just simple exclamations of how good the songs were.

Hmm, whether as a hater or a fan, at least she contributes to the views.

Wu Mu smiled and asked, "Your driver ran off? Want me to give you a lift?"

Su Meng hesitated slightly, "I’ll let my family know."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come. Yes, my friend will give me a ride back, okay, I know."

After making the call, Su Meng opened Wu Mu’s passenger door and got in.

After confirming the address, Wu Mu curiously asked, "Aren’t you from Shen City, what brings you here?"

Su Meng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."

She paused, rare smile appearing on her face, "We just had a meeting, and my friend wanted to cover their ears for your first song."

Wu Mu laughed, "Well that’s not on me, my singing was fine."

Chatting and laughing with Su Meng, Wu Mu soon took her home, to a large courtyard in the Upper City District, just not far from the Forbidden City.

Hmm, confirmed, another one of the Heavenly Dragon People.

Wu Mu was quite surprised, although through everyday actions and words, one could tell Su Meng’s family was well-off.

But didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.

This courtyard alone, probably worth at least

The host wasn’t to be seen yet, Yang Rongfa asked, "Several major directors and company bosses from the industry came today, do you want me to introduce you?"

This would be an opportunity for anyone in the industry.

Getting to know more people is always a good thing.

But... recalling the previous party experience, Yang Rongfa wisely chose to ask first.

Wu Mu shook his head, "No..."

But halfway shaking, his eyes passed over someone in a small lounge area beside the main hall, where it was sectioned off, not clear to see fully, and slightly paused.

"Director Lin is here too?" Wu Mu asked Yang Rongfa.

He meant Director Lin, not Lin Qingyue, but her father Lin Xueming.

Lin Qingyue would be back tonight, but needed to handle matters with her crew and wouldn’t be at this event.

Also, he had mentioned to Lin Qingyue earlier that he’d attend this party, if Lin Qingyue were coming too, she would have told him.

"Yes, Tang Wei and Xie Chunfang are here too." Yang Rongfa nodded.

It turned in Wu Mu’s mind; these two are also of the same tier as Lin Xueming, top figures within the circle.

However, he wasn’t planning to cozy up to these directors for resources, so dealing with them wasn’t a concern.

But with Lin Xueming here, not greeting him would be inappropriate.

"I’ll go say hello to Director Lin." He took steps toward the small lounge area.

"Director Lin and the others are there, are you going to greet them?" Yang Rongfa whispered close by.

He spoke, motioning with his hand towards the small lounge area beside the main reception hall.

The small lounge seemed to be a regular private guest area, visually sectioned off, making it unclear, just appearing to be smaller compared to the main one.

Some closer positioned sofas were there, where many were seated and chatting.

Director Lin?

Wu Mu’s mind turned and he instantly knew it was Lin Qingyue’s father, Lin Xueming.

Lin Qingyue was set to return tonight, but still had to handle her crew’s matters and wouldn’t be present here.

Also, he mentioned to Lin Qingyue earlier that he would attend this event. If she were coming too, she’d have informed him.

"I’ll go say hello." He nodded in agreement.

Since Lin Xueming was here, it was only fitting to greet him.

"Heads of Light Shadow Media and Yahua Film and Television, alongside Director Tang and Director Xie, are also here." Yang Rongfa whispered again.

Light Shadow Media, Yahua Film and Television?

Even without delving into the circle, Wu Mu knew of these two companies; if Yang Rongfa’s was a middle-level enterprise, these two were indeed top-tier.
